Beyond tracing out the lineage of the De Meriets to their extinction in the male line, the main objects of pursuit have been, firstly, the separating and ascribing to the right person the several histories of four kinsmen of the same name, viz., Sir John de Meriet kt. of Meriet, John de· Meriet his eldest so~, Sir John de Meriet kt. of Hestercombe, and John de Meriet his eldest son (who all :flourished during the interval between the years 1276 and 1337), and clearing away the difficulties that have surrounded the subject and hitherto bafiled the efforts of previous writers ; and secondly, solving the query, whether the manor of Hestercombe devolved.to the Warre family by heirship and natural descent from,the De Meriets.
